What Kiefer's karrying: gear we saw on 24
Molly Wood

We wish we could lay our hands on the kind of gear Jack Bauer uses (and destroys) in each heart-pounding hour of 24. Then again, some of it does look mighty familiar. Those are definitely HP and Dell monitors we go zooming past every time we're in CTU headquarters, and Cisco phones have been standard in all seasons. We're pretty sure the bad guys on that show are using Alienware laptops to transmit their nefarious data, while our heroes from CTU are equipped with a nice Dell wide-screen like the Inspiron 9300. Meanwhile, it looked like a SmartDisk FireLite portable hard drive sparked a firefight between a faux FBI agent and Jack, and wasn't he uploading data to a Samsung MM-A800 just a few episodes before the finale? (Then again, it could have been a Samsung i730). Spotted any other gadgets we've missed? Sure, you have. Send them our way, to buzz@cnet.com.
